El Día de los Muertos
The day of the dead is a Mexican holiday where families spend two days honoring their loved ones who have passed away with happy and lively celebrations. November 1st, the first day of day of the dead, honors the children and holy spirits that have passed away. November 2nd is "All Souls Day," honoring the rest of those who have passed.
The day of the dead is a celebration of life, and so people throw very lively festivals. Lots of people will dress up and dance with items such as shells or noisemakers as a part of their costume. It is thought that the noise will wake the dead and welcome them back. These festivals also express bright colors and lively music, to express the celebration of life. The sugar skulls and bright colors are what inspire me to make art of this great holiday.
I made a sugar skull with bright colors and nice flowers to honor the day of the dead. I tried to use the colors and flowers to show that the day of dead is a happy celebration. that tells us to enjoy life and give thanks to those who have passed on.
